Noctus was a male Barn Owl, or Tyto alba, known best as the father of Kludd, Soren, and Eglantine. He was the mate of Marella.

History[]

The Capture[]

Noctus is first seen teaching Kludd branching. He witnessed the hatching of all his three children, and told them legends of Ga'Hoole.

One night whilst Noctus and Marella were out hunting, Kludd pushed Soren out of their nest, resulting in the former being snatched by a St. Aggie's patrol. After returning from their hunt, Noctus and Marella were devastated to find Soren gone. They then gave Kludd strict instructions to mind Eglantine the next time they went out hunting.

The Rescue[]

While Soren and the weather chaw were lost in the spirit woods, Soren found his parents' scrooms, or spirits, who warned him of Metal Beak. Since his parents were scrooms, this indicates that they were both dead.

The Siege[]

Noctus is mentioned when Kludd remembers the habits of his father. After Kludd saw an owl with battle claws, he immediately wanted a pair as well, but his parents forbid him even mentioning them. This led him to the first serious hassle with his father. When the patrols of St. Aegolius started to snatch the eggs from the Tyto Kingdom, many families got themselves battle claws, except for his family, where Noctus shut down every talk about battle claws.

The Burning[]

After the defeat of the Pure Ones, Noctus made his final appearance as a scroom. He calmed Soren when he said that his work on earth was done and he and his mother departed to Glaumora to rest in peace.

Personality[]

Noctus was a loving, caring father who only wanted the best for his children. When he was disobeyed he could get angry, as shown in The Capture, but he was mostly good-natured and loved old legends and cracking jokes, much to Kludd's disgust. However, though through no fault of his own, Noctus's utter refusal to contemplate getting a set of battle claws to defend his family from St. Aggie's patrols inevitably left them venerable to attack, implying a naive side.

Trivia[]

  • Noctus is the Latin word for night.
